However, spiritual treasures that can suppress destiny are inherently scarce, and the Innate Lotus Platform can be considered a good item for that purpose!
Firstly, the Twelve-Grade Golden Lotus of Merit and Virtue is out of the question, as it is in Hongjun's possession and cannot be taken.
The Twelve-Grade Black Lotus of World Destruction is with the Demon Ancestor, so that's also unavailable.
The remaining Twelve-Grade Red Lotus of Karma is in Minghe's hands, and this is something that can be schemed for. Furthermore, Minghe possesses many spiritual treasures, and is rumored to have the Ultimate Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Northern Profound Water Control Flag. How can a blood sea vampire like you have so many good treasures?
Most importantly, Minghe is currently easy to bully. It's still uncertain whether he has fully transformed, and he certainly hasn't reached the state of "As long as the blood sea doesn't dry, Minghe won't die!"
Therefore, one should quickly acquire the spiritual treasures. Once Minghe grows stronger, it will be unrealistic to snatch his spiritual treasures!
Taiqing Laozi is currently in a predicament. It is very difficult to find other spiritual treasures. Only Minghe's location remains fixed; as long as the blood sea can be found, it's feasible!
Thus, Taiqing Laozi made his move, descending Kunlun Mountain alone and heading towards the blood sea!
The blood sea is not difficult to find. After all, the primordial world is currently in a great tribulation, and large amounts of essence blood converge into the blood sea daily. Following the resonance will eventually lead to it!
Meanwhile, Minghe, in the blood sea, is completely unaware that he has been targeted. After all, who would pay attention to a filthy place like the blood sea? Who would imagine that such a foul place harbors a treasure like the Twelve-Grade Red Lotus of Karma?
Impossible, no one knows. Thus, Minghe is at ease. Coupled with the great array of the blood sea outside and the protection of the Ultimate Spiritual Treasure, Minghe is dreaming of achieving enlightenment!
Upon arriving at the blood sea, Taiqing Laozi unleashed his Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda, which immediately bathed the area in golden light. As Laozi entered the blood sea, it was as if he had entered an unpatrolled territory!
The great array of the blood sea didn't even trigger an alert. At this point, Minghe had only just transformed and had not yet begun to refine the entire blood sea, condense countless Blood Gods, and achieve the state of "As long as the blood sea doesn't dry, Minghe won't die!"
He was still stabilizing his early-stage Da Luo Golden Immortal cultivation!
Taiqing Laozi easily passed through the great array of the blood sea and saw Minghe deep within. At this moment, Minghe was seated on the lotus platform of the Twelve-Grade Red Lotus of Karma, with two battle-ready swords guarding him on either side, cultivating something unknown.
The Northern Profound Water Control Flag was not visible. Taiqing Laozi's brow furrowed slightly! Could it be that the spiritual treasure had not yet manifested? Or had Minghe not yet sought it out?
With this thought, Taiqing Laozi smiled faintly and began his search without disturbing Minghe!
Under Taiqing Laozi's deliberate search, he soon found the Northern Profound Water Control Flag!
Who would have thought this treasure was actually in the blood sea? This is because Minghe had just transformed and hadn't explored his own territory yet, thus benefiting Taiqing Laozi! Otherwise, Taiqing Laozi would have had no chance at this moment!
Therefore, Taiqing Laozi refined the spiritual treasure slightly, making it just usable.
Although this process was not short, it was not long either. Minghe had not even completed one cycle of his cultivation!
As Laozi approached, Minghe opened his eyes, feeling a sense of unease, a premonition of danger!
Indeed, upon opening his eyes, he saw a Daoist approaching him slowly!
Minghe was greatly alarmed. He knew that this was the blood sea, and there was a great array above him. Why had he felt nothing at all!
Just as he was about to open his mouth to reprimand, Taiqing Laozi had already thrown out his Coiling Dragon Staff, aiming for Minghe!
Minghe cursed inwardly and immediately commanded his two formidable swords to meet the attack!
Taiqing Laozi, unhurriedly, tossed out the Profound Water Control Flag. As an Ultimate Innate Spiritual Treasure, it possessed both offense and defense. Its power manifested immediately. Minghe knew this was an extraordinary item and quickly urged the Red Lotus of Karma beneath him to meet it!
Facing this situation, Taiqing Laozi was satisfied. This was within his expectations!
It was a pity that Minghe had already transformed. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so troublesome!
"Who exactly are you!" Minghe roared! To attack with two Ultimate Innate Spiritual Treasures immediately showed that this was a great figure in the primordial world. Thus, Minghe wanted to know his name; one shouldn't attack without knowing the opponent's identity, right?
Taiqing Laozi had no intention of hiding. After all, they would find out eventually. He hummed, "This humble Daoist is one of Pangu's Three Pure Ones. I observe that this object has a karmic affinity with me. I hope Daoist friend will grant me some convenience!"
"You motherfucker!" Minghe exploded with an expletive. Get lost! This is my blood sea, and you say it has an affinity with you? Can you be any more ridiculous!
Furthermore, this Twelve-Grade Red Lotus of Karma is my, Minghe's, companion spiritual treasure, not yours! Are you fantasizing! With an affinity? Can you have some shame! How can you claim to be one of Pangu's Three Pure Ones like this? Did Pangu have someone as shameless as you? Stop tarnishing Pangu's reputation, alright! Minghe had so many complaints he wanted to vent, but truly felt compelled to!
Taiqing Laozi, however, paid him no mind. "I am one of Pangu's Three Pure Ones. This primordial world is formed from Pangu. Having an affinity with Pangu's Three Pure Ones is not wrong! It's perfectly fine!"
Moreover, the mature lotus seeds of the Primordial Green Lotus had an affinity with the Three Pure Ones. This Twelve-Grade lotus platform, formed from immature lotus seeds, should have an even stronger affinity!
"No, this Daoist's cultivation is profound. I am no match for him, I must retreat!" Minghe was anxious. He wasn't foolish; he knew Taiqing Laozi's might. Thus far, the pagoda above his head had not even been used!
He immediately intended to take back his spiritual treasures and flee!
Taiqing Laozi let out a disdainful laugh and flicked his finger towards the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda above his head. Immediately, the pagoda enveloped the Twelve-Grade Red Lotus of Karma, leaving it nowhere to escape!
Minghe urged it for a long time without any reaction, realizing the power of the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda!
However, he was unwilling to abandon his spiritual treasure and could only try again!
This time, Taiqing Laozi no longer held back. He drew out the Profound Water Control Flag and simultaneously flung out his Coiling Dragon Staff, striking Minghe directly and sending him flying!
The Profound Water Control Flag unfurled, and a boundless blue light screen surged towards Minghe!
Minghe was terrified, knowing the Daoist's power. He could only cast a resentful glance at Taiqing Laozi and vanish!
Taiqing Laozi collected the spiritual treasures, sneered disdainfully, and glanced at the struggling Twelve-Grade Red Lotus of Karma. Taiqing Laozi smiled faintly and took it into the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda. Only then did he nod with satisfaction. Now, his third brother had a spiritual treasure to suppress destiny. As for offending Minghe? Heh, offending him was offending him. It was no big deal!
Indeed, in Taiqing Laozi's opinion, it was truly no big deal. You, Minghe, are only immortal because the blood sea has great karma, and others dare not dry it up. But being immortal doesn't mean you can't be killed. Kill him a few more times, and his strength will decrease. Even if he is immortal and indestructible, it doesn't matter. In the future, his three brothers will all be Heavenly Saints, so why should they fear a mere lord of the blood sea?
